Qurban, or Eid ul-Adha, occurs the day after the pilgrims in Mecca descend from Mount Arafat. This is a day to celebrate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his own son to Allah. Even though Ismael was allowed to live, on this holiday Muslims sacrifice animals to Allah, say a special prayer and go to the mosque.
